The Edison Directorate was founded shortly after Edison the Immortal returned from his Eastern European trip. Edison himself is the President and CEO of the Directorate, but most of the operations are overseen by the Board of Directors.

The Directorate operates in the shadows behind many shell corporations--mostly tech and energy companies, but branching into many fields and markets. Primarily a U.S. company, they have contacts in Eastern Europe and surrounding regions with expansion on their mind.

Nikola Tesla was experimenting with a science that could predict future events. He created a series of books that held the secret to his science and created the Conservation in order to study and protect it. It soon became apparent that someone else knew of his ability to predict events and coveted this ability for personal greed and ambition. Most individuals inside the organization refer to it as the Conservation and omit the "Tesla."
